Two women in front wear orange shawls. A man in a bright blue kurta and white dhoti stands at the left edge in the foreground. Single-storey white buildings with red-trimmed roofs line the left side, a green-roofed shed and a dry field on the right, with a tree and a green vehicle in the background. The scene suggests a procession moving along the path during a festival day.
